Hi
The AMD 7850 is a faster graphics card. If you click on the link below you will see a performance comparison of the two cards

Thanks jay.Any idea if I can run this and overclock with a dell studio xps 460watt psu?The recommended is 500watt.Iv read a few threads on the forum saying it will be fine but just for clarification.And Happy New Year to you

It should be fine unless you have a power hungry CPU. What is your CPU?

That's a link to a 650 ti not ti boost. The boost version is about equal to a 7850 while the regular isn't near as good. I would use the one that has the features you want such as physx, shadow play and shield for nvidia and mantle for amd.

My cpu is the Phenom 2x6 core 1055t thuban.95watt I think.

Thanks shadow didn't spot that.yes its the boost I have on board and have to admit its a great card so far.Temps overclocking are great never near 60 under full load boosted.
